STEALTHGAS INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

ATHENS, GREECE, November 22, 2017. STEALTHGAS INC. (NASDAQ: GASS), a ship-owning company primarily serving the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sector of the international shipping industry, announced today its unaudited financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

    Operational utilization of 95.4% in Q3 17’ (88.1% in Q3 16’).

 

    Commercial off hire days reduced in Q3 17’ by 63% compared to Q3 16’.

 

    89% of fleet days secured on period charters for the remainder of 2017, with a total of around $176 million in contracted revenues.

 

    Sale of two more of our oldest vessels, the Gas Moxie (1992 built) and the Gas Nirvana (1996 built), both for further trading.

 

    Revenues of $38.5 million, an increase of 11.9% compared to Q3 16’

 

    Adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million in Q3 17’ compared to $11.2 million in Q3 16’.

 

    Moderate gearing as debt to assets stands at about 40%.

 

    Cash in hand of about $41.3 million with operating cash flow of $34.7 million.

Third Quarter 2017 Results:

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $38.5 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 11.9%, compared to revenues of $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, mainly due to increased fleet utilization and an increase in market rates. Since the beginning of the year, market rates of our segment have increased on average in an excess of 10%.

 

Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $3.7 million and $15.1 million respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $14.6 million respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The $0.3 million decrease in voyage expenses was mainly attributed to fewer vessels operating in the spot market leading to lower bunker and port costs. The 3.4% increase in vessels’ operating expenses compared to the same period of 2016 was mostly due to an increase in maintenance costs, an outcome of higher utilization of many older vessels that experienced significant idle days during the previous quarters.

 

Drydocking costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The costs for the third quarter of 2017 corresponded to the drydocking of one vessel, while in the same period of 2016 the Company completed the drydocking of two vessels.

 

1


Depreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $9.8 million, a $0.1 million decrease from $9.9 million for the same period of last year. This decrease was due to the net reduction of two vessels from our fleet.

 

Included in the third quarter 2017 results were net losses from interest rate derivative instruments of $0.08 million. Interest paid on interest rate derivative instruments amounted to $0.08 million.

 

The Company realized a $0.07 million loss on sale of two vessels in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $3.2 million for four of its oldest vessels, two of which have been classified as held for sale, as of September 30, 2017

 

As a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported a net loss of $2.3 million, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The weighted average number of shares for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 39.8 million. Loss per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $0.06.

 

Adjusted net income was $1.1 million or $0.03 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to adjusted net loss of $2.4 million or $0.06 per share for the same period of last year.

 

EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $12.0 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net (Loss)/Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss are set forth below.

 

An average of 52.9 vessels were owned by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 54.0 vessels for the same period of 2016.

Nine Months 2017 Results:

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, amounted to $115.9 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 8.6%, compared to revenues of $106.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to improved market conditions.

 

Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $11.8 million and $44.4 million respectively, compared to $11.7 million and $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The $0.1 million increase in voyage expenses was mainly due to the higher bunker prices prevailing in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period of 2016. The $0.1 million increase in vessels’ operating expenses was mainly due to higher utilization of several vessels that faced a lot of idle time during the same period of last year, thus leading to increased maintenance costs.

 

Drydocking Costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $2.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, representing the costs of 5 and 9 vessels drydocked in the corresponding periods.

 

Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was $29.3 million, a $0.1 million increase from $29.2 million for the same period of last year.

 

Included in the first nine months of 2017 results were net losses from interest rate derivative instruments of $0.3 million. Interest paid on interest rate swap arrangements amounted to $0.3 million.

 

The Company recorded an impairment loss of $6.5 million in the first nine months of 2017 for seven of its oldest vessels, four of which had been classified as held for sale, as of the end of the related period.

EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 amounted to $39.6 million. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net (Loss)/Income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss are set forth below. An average of 53.1 vessels were owned by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 53.3 vessels for the same period of 2016.

Board Chairman Michael Jolliffe Commented

In the third quarter of 2017, our market continued the positive momentum noticeable since the beginning of the year. As a result, we witnessed a further strengthening of the freight rates, a strong demand in spite of the weak seasonal period and managed to decrease our idle days by 63% compared to the same period of last year.

Our revenues were 12% higher than the third quarter of 2016, but our profitability, excluding non-cash items was somewhat impacted by a slight increase of our operating cost base. This increase was mostly attributed to a rise in maintenance costs due to the higher utilization of many older vessels that previously faced a lot of idle days.

We proceeded with the sale of two more of our older vessels at a 78% and 220% premiums over scrap value respectively. These sales took place in order to further boost our liquidity and ease our operating cost base. We still maintain strong earnings visibility and have a strong fleet coverage of 63% for 2018.

As our market fundamentals are improving and look promising for the future, we hope to further improve upon our performance – increase our revenues, strengthen our profitability and continue to contain our costs.

Fleet operational utilization (7)

     88.1     95.4     90.1     95.9

1) Average number of vessels is the number of owned vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.

2) Total calendar days for fleet are the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period including off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.

3) Total voyage days for fleet reflect the total days the vessels we operated were in our possession for the relevant period net of off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys.

4) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

5) Total charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on time or bareboat charters for the relevant period.

6) Total spot market charter days for fleet are the number of voyage days the vessels operated on spot market charters for the relevant period.

7) Fleet operational utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels generated revenue, and is determined by dividing voyage days (excluding commercially idle days) by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net (Loss)/Income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS:

Adjusted net (loss)/income represents net loss before loss on derivatives excluding net swap interest paid, share based compensation, impairment loss and (loss)/gain on sale of vessels. EBITDA represents net loss before interest and finance costs including net swap interest paid, interest income and other income/(expenses) and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share based compensation, loss on derivatives, excluding net swap interest paid, impairment loss and (loss)/gain on sale of vessels. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net (loss)/income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which we assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide additional information on fleet operational results. We also believe that EBITDA represents useful information for investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
